    Bimini Jeep Style Top

    I’d be amazed if anything currently made could be retrofitted. I’d guess it’ll be at least a foot too narrow. I think the idea has legs, though. Probably won’t be too hard to mount to the windshield track, a few loops for the B and C pillars, maybe a strap to the rear of the bed to give some...

    Electrical Gremlins. HMMWV M1097R1.

    Aurora is legit, they’re about ten minutes from me.

    Gauge lights

    I can't speak to the internals/design, but that link above differentiated between the 12v version and 24v version, the packaging also indicated 24v. I have had them in my HMMWV for several years and have not had an issue thus far (1,700+ miles).

    I cleaned the clear lenses and added these: EverBrightt 20-Pack DC 24V Red BA9S 5050 5SMD Led Trunk Light Bulbs Car Door Lights Wedge Light https://a.co/d/9BJhY61 As Mogman pointed out, they no longer dim, but the red doesn’t throw off my vision at night. They’re quite bright under NODs, but...

    4L80e Code: 22 - Throttle Position Sensor low voltage

    Little update- Arm finally up to the task of letting me climb on the front wheels, so I could inspect the TPS. It had a bit of corrosion, which I cleaned up, voltage tested good, slapped on some dialectic grease and everything was back to normal. Shifts smoothly, rides great. When I first got...

    4L80e Code: 22 - Throttle Position Sensor low voltage

    The Trans light comes on when power is turned on, but turns out after a few seconds. No flashing/illumination beyond that, until it's put into the code read mode, then only Code 22. Its shifting through the gears albeit roughly as @NDT pointed out, as if I were driving at full throttle. Thus...

    4L80e Code: 22 - Throttle Position Sensor low voltage

    Code 22 Throttle Position (TP) Sensor circuit low is the only one showing. Thanks for pointing out that the light might not illuminate, didn't consider that.

    4L80e Code: 22 - Throttle Position Sensor low voltage

    Took out the HMMWV for the 4th of July and all systems seemed fine, but it hung 1st gear until much higher in the RPMs (20+ mph 1-2 shift at mild throttle) and was a pretty rough shift when it finally did shift. Seemed to run through the gears, but all seemed late/rough, not stuck in 2nd/Limp...

    Am I getting a good deal?

    I have serial number 183XXX M1123, she took some sorting out when I got her, but I put 2,000 miles on her last year with no hiccups. This era/model may be missing some of the nicer features- rear fender AC, the hard top, turbocharger, winch, etc. but they’re light weight, simple, easy to wrench...

    Softer Springs

    While not their intended use, would some 17” limiting straps attached to the stock shock mounting points do the trick? Seems like it would be some margin of safety keeping the spring in place while also keeping the entire assembly from overextending for the rare chance that one reaches full...

    Softer Springs

    Is this a real risk? Obviously an instantaneous release of immense pressure is potentially deadly, but is it likely? I thought jeep guys ran setups like that, too.

    NOOB. Looking for a little help joining the gang.

    I’m in Illinois where the HMMWV is verboten per the Lord of the Tumblers. I didn’t even bother with the DMV here and went with Dirt Legal to get it tagged/titled in Utah. This was several years ago at this point. It wasn’t cheap, but it was easy, I have a street legal title, despite still not...
